It's been quiet on the home front lately and I've been playing in the studio....It's just what I do...LOL! First, it started with a little top hat that I made. I painted it black then steampunked it up.... Not happy with the results, I pulled everything off and covered the hat with Tim Holtz tissue tape. Ahhhh, now it's better...LOL Once again, it's just what I do....LOL! The cool thing that happened, the top hat gave me the idea to alter a primitive looking statue. The hat fit perfectly on her head...So, I'm off to transforming her from a primitive looking "statue thing" to a lady of steampunk something or other! LOL! I will share her with you when she is done...
In between reworking the top hat, I pulled out a tag...It's just what I do...LOL! I sprayed the tag with some Dylusions Spray Inks in Bubblegum Pink, Squeezed Orange, Pure Sunshine and a dash of Cherry Pie. I then added the numerals from Tim Holtz new Stampers Anonymous Numeric stamp set, added a bit of the new Dylusions Ocean Backgrounds stamp around the edges, bradded on some Tim Holtz-Idea-olgy Numerals...Not being quite done, I stamped the domed plate from Dylusions Monster Mash stamp set onto Acetate and Ranger's Inkssentials Manila card and cut each out to match the original stamped image. I placed a tissue taped #5 under the dome then headed to my box of goodies and pulled out a key, another mini numeral and the "Know" Idea-ology Word Sticks and attached it to some Dylusional stained Crinkle Ribbon....Last but not least added some Idea-ology Label Letters spelling out..."Know Your No." to some aluminium tags.
So, here's what it ended up looking like. Hope you like it! I call it...

ReplyDeleteHi Jim, Lovin' your tag. It took me back to memories of 'The Prisoner' - a T.V. series about a British former secret service agent held prisoner in a mysterious costal village resort, where everyone is referred to by a number & not their name. I think they re-made it for U.S. viewing.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get an air-brushed look with the Dylusions sprays? I was expecting you to say you used ink pads & a blending mat.
Hugs, Theresa

ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing the pimped statue..... and I love the tag, the colours are so vibrant....
ReplyDeleteIt's just so happy. You inspired me to take a break and get out some bright colors. I ran to the craft store and bought a set of Dyan's stamps just to play with. My local store doesn't have the inks, but that is okay. I DON'T NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO BUY, JIM! I am using some bright markers while I watch it rain/hail/snow/sunshine. Only in Oregon.......
ReplyDeleteJim... I don't know what to say ... too cool !!
